Are You Organized?

It can be!  What does it mean to be organized?  To me, it means you are able to find your things when you need them.  

The average American is spending 55 minutes a day looking for items they know they own but can not find. Does this sound familiar?  It happens to all of us.  What would you do with your extra time if it was given back?  

Organization does not have to be pretty with everything in baskets.  It can be as simple as putting all of the coats in one closet, rather than having them spread out throughout the house.  The basic principal of organization is For Everything There is a Place, if you know where that place is and are able to return the items to their home, then guess what You Are Organized!  Basic definition of organization:  If you are happy in your space, you can find your things, then you are well organized!  

So the next time you are searching for your keys or something you have lost, think about how you can prevent this from happening again.  What one place in your home can you set aside just for that item.  

Again, being organized is the system you put in place, not just the pretty box’s!
